Ditto. Trying to reset my rank because for some reason I lost all of my perks despite being Admiral.

"CustomRez 0 1920 1080;" in BeatHazardpref.txt is not changing the size of the game's play erea. Does the play area always remain the same, and changing the command simply makes the menus display nicely at hight resolutions?

Thanks

Your graphic driver makes the picture fullscreen, no matter which resolution you chose. If you don't want that (because for e.g. you want to play 16:9 on a 16:10 monitor) then you'll have to disable gpu scaling (for ati drivers) or the option that does the same for nvidia drivers (which I don't know what it is called).

800x600 is the lowest the game options offer, so it could actually be the minimum resolution the game can be run at.

Then again you might wanna try 640x480 instead of 600x480, because the latter doesn't make any sense (how does playing at such a low res make any sense in the first place?).

---------------------------------------------------------

Now about a problem I'm having:
I played some songs I shouldn't have played just to see how they turned out. Now they obviously sometimes automatically play as the next song after a game and moreover make my list longer. So I want to get rid of them. However removing indexed songs in the game options only removes songs that have not been played yet.

Is there any way to remove them? What would moving songs do? If I move the files somewhere else, start BH so it finds out they are gone, close BH and then put the files back to where they belong - would they be lost for BH unless reindexed or will it find them again automatically?

So, if that doesn't work I guess this is my only chance:

ResetMySongSaves_NoReally;
*WARNING* This will reset all the scores on your songs. You need to play a track so the game saves and this becomes permanent. You will also need to remove the command once you've done this otherwise your scores will be reset every time you load the game.
This will not reset your leaderboard scores or any other stats.

However I actually would like to keep the scores for the built-in tracks - any chance for that to be accomplished?

whoops. i meant 640x480, and as for why, my friend finally got me to start casting on twitch, and since i can't afford to pay for Xsplit, FME doesn't play nice when the game is in full screen works better the closer the game window is to the output resolution.

same thing happened to me, lost all my perks despite being elite 16. I don't think the preferences thing works on macs. I've been trying to reset my score so I can start getting perks again, because I lost them from some fluke. I was told to find the savegame4.sav file, but it appears as though that file doesn't exist on my computer. I just want to be able to enjoy beat hazard agaaaain.

Is it possible to make a command that removes the beat hazard logo from showing up when you have full pow and vol (in other words have beat hazard)?

I can't seem to get this to work. I've put in a variety of number combos trying to turn the photons purple, and they continue to be red all the time, the color never changes.

Could someone maybe give me a hand with this? Would really like to get some purple photons up in this game.

Are you able to get other commands to work? e.g.
ThanksButNoThanks;
is a simple one to test.

[Timedye]

I got the command for constant music volume to work fine, so I know the file itself is named okay and whatnot.

[securiT]

I'd expect purple to be something like:
PhotonCol 0.33 0.1 0.05;

Are you trying something like that?

[Timedye]

Something like that, but I had the numbers ahead of the periods (33.0 1.0 5.0). I'll try your code and see how it works.

[securiT]

Yip, that's what it will be. None of the numbers should be over 1.0 as it's a decimal representing a percentage.

Requoting one of my posts above for reference:

Re the photon colour setting option - if you're not good with RGB/decimal values just pick a colour from this site:
http://www.december.com/html/spec/colorper.html

Change to decimal from percent.

E.g.: green grape rgb(81%, 80%, 8%)

Needs the command
PhotonCol 0.81, 0.8, 0.08;

[Timedye]

Hrm. Photons are still red, and now it seems like even the constant music volume isn't working. I'm now curious as to whether or not it ever worked, or if the volume perk I was using just made me think it was.

I've put the .txt in about three places at this point, because the folder the first post says to put it in doesn't exist in my installation of the game. Beginning to wonder if I just don't have it in the right spot.

Edited: Okay, I finally found the correct APPDATA folder, will try again a little later and see what happens.
